Whoohoo, Wednesday! We’ve got a lot to say about this week’s Woman Crush Wednesday so let’s get to it.

Kelen Coleman has graced the screen in numerous memorable roles, but we are living for her bitchy mom on HBO’s Big Little Lies. While she plays a mom of one of the students, she’s bringing a fierce ‘tude to the witness statement scenes, and attempting to bond over being bitchy with Laura Dern’s Renata.

This is not the first HBO drama Kelen’s been a part of, and she’s become a comedy staple as well. Whether she’s making us laugh or gasp, we’re girl crushin’ hard on this fabulous actress.

WHO’S THAT GAL: Kelen Coleman

WHY WE’RE CRUSHING: The thing we love about Kelen is that she’s a team player. She’s been a part of some incredible ensembles, and not only does she get her time to shine (because let’s be honest, homegirl knows how to deliver a line), but she helps those around her look great and get laughs in the process. She’s so damn good at playing a character’s best friend that it makes us want to be her BFF. Her past roles have leaned toward comedy, which makes sense because she’s great at it, but she has also stood out and made an impact in the HBO dramas she’s been a part of, including the very buzzy Big Little Lies. Kelen’s made quite an impression in her career so far, and something (her talent!) tells us there’s plenty more in store.

WHERE YOU’VE SEEN HER BEFORE: Many viewers took notice of Kelen on The Office, where she played Pam’s friend Isabel. She makes the rather unwise decision to hooking up with Dwight in more than 1 of the 4 episodes she spent on the show, and her career set off from there. She was Alex, one of Mindy’s fun friends on The Mindy Project, where her character even briefly dated Danny. You might also recognize her as Lisa from The Newsroom, a woman dating Jim, and who also happens to be Maggie’s roommate, so her character was all up in the drama. Kelen has also appeared on Hart of Dixie, Men at Work, Californication, Scandal, and Young & Hungry. Kelen starred as Jackie in the CBS sitcom The McCarthys, which ran for one season, but don’t worry — we were only mildly jealous that she got to work with Joey McIntyre every week. She’s also been in the films Flock of Dudes, Dirty 30, and True Memoirs of an International Assassin.

WHERE YOU’LL SEE HER NEXT: Kelen’s got a TV movie on the way, and was just cast in the CBS comedy pilot Me, Myself and I, so fingers crossed that we’re seeing even more of her on TV next year. For now, we’re totally obsessed with her role as Harper Stimson on Big Little Lies. She’s been impressively snarky in what we’ve seen so far, and we have a feeling that will only continue as more details about the main event of the show emerges. And still, we totally want to be her friend.
